Tuesday of decreases in the coronavirus indicators in Spain.

The incidence has fallen to 160.73 cases per 100,000 inhabitants

(16 points less than on Monday) and it is expected that, if the current trend continues, the country will leave the high risk level in the next few days.

5,246 new infections in the last 24 hours

(2,521 less than those reported seven days ago).

In terms of mortality, Spain already exceeds 85,000 official deaths from coronavirus (85,066) and, although five more deaths have been reported than yesterday,

a total of 138, there is a significant decrease compared to last week

(last Tuesday there were 194 ).

Decrease in incidence

The positive evolution of the rate of contagion is closely related to the accelerated decline in cases among young people. In the group between 12 and 19 years old, the AI ​​indicator has plummeted in the last seven days,

dropping 192 points and standing at 269.06 cases per 100,000 inhabitants

. Between 20 and 29 years of age, transmission has also dropped considerably (135 points in one week),

standing at 202.44

. The third most affected age group, the one under 11 years old,

registers an AI of 197.69

.

By autonomy, the most affected are Melilla (393.91 of IA), Ceuta (301.66), Extremadura (282.52) and the Basque Country (224.81).

On the other hand, Asturias (63.80), Canarias (102.90), Valencian Community (122.30) and Catalonia (130.84)

maintain the most positive incidence data in the country.

It also reduces pressure on hospitals.

This Tuesday, 5,584 people were admitted to the national territory for coronavirus

, 192 less than on Monday.

The overall occupancy percentage then drops to 4.72%.

In the Intensive Care Units (ICU) the trend is similar: in them the occupation drops to 14.74%, with 33 less seriously ill patients than yesterday (a total of 1,349).

Saturated ICU in Madrid

The communities with

the most saturated ICUs are still Madrid (27.65%)

, Catalonia (26.24%), the Balearic Islands (18.60%) and Navarra (18.03%).

On the opposite side, the most relaxed are Murcia (4.97%), Galicia (5.87%), Ceuta (5.88%) and Extremadura (7.45%).

But it

must

always

be remembered that these figures only correspond to the occupation of beds by Covid patients

.

To calculate the total occupancy, it is necessary to add those patients who are admitted for other pathologies and surgeries.

In Europe, the United Kingdom (741.7), Switzerland (419.6) and Ireland (401.8) are the countries with the highest AI.

The best placed countries are Poland (10.2), Czech Republic (29.2), Ukraine (55.1), Romania (73.6) and Sweden (136.3).
